I agree.  The early parts make it look like a BSD-style licence, but
the license part starting with this seems non-free:-

lcc was mentioned on debian-legal back in August 2003 as an example of
a non-free compiler in a book.  See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/08/msg00552.html

Unless there's some other licence issued since, it seems pretty
clearly unsuitable for debian main.
